Lord You Said! You Promised! (A real life testimony)

 Written (November 10, 2014)

I was sitting second to the last row of Victory Caloocan fellowship 3pm service, and I enjoyed every songs of praise and worship to the Lord. It feels refreshing to be free from worries of the world. It's Sunday, my favorite day of the week, it is special to me because not only this is the day to worship God (well, mostly christians), but it is also a day when i will be able to meet my family and will be able to eat lunch for free hehehe.

As the pastor (Pastor Jay-R one of my favorite Preacher) begins his preaching with his casual greetings, i am sitting silently, deep inside i knew God has something to say to me that day. The title of the series is BIG DEAL. And yes i was praying for something BIG to happen. As the preaching continues, i remember 3 things about that preaching. The Big Deals of God with Man. First Unconditional Love, second is Faithfulness to His Promise and lastly is Encompassing Blessing.

In the evening of that day, i remember i was sitting on our couch thinking deeply, that preaching of pastor Jay-R really made me realized and think again, "i am your son Lord". Yes i asked for the things i was praying for with boldness and confidence, then i said, Lord You said! You promised! I knew exactly what i feel, i have faith in asking, i accepted it and thank God.

Monday came, yes it is another day in the office, i started the day with prayer and thankfulness knowing something good will happen this day, or probably this week. The day ended without good news, but it is okay, i believe in You Lord (i am speaking with God in my mind) there is a sense of peace and calmness.

Tuesday came, and i was stuck in traffic of overly thronged edsa road. It is almost 10 am, and i am late, my mind begins to crumble, lost of focus begins to amalgamate. Then my wife's phone suddenly rang (we exchanged phone so she can call me whenever she wants). It was the thing i was praying for,  thank goodness, although the woman on the phone said few details we missed about that thing. It is still an answered prayer.

I did not remember anything after that, all i know was, when i parked on the company's free parking, i started to pray and thank God for everything. Truly His word is true and powerful, i have never experienced being denied in prayer whenever i sought for it with humility. Yes, God is good, but for me He is the Hope.

Whatever we ask in prayer, let us believe that it will happen. Because really when He said, it will come true, and when He promised, it will happen.

Thank You Jesus. Just like it, He said, He promised.
